Card deck of Jokers

Chapter 15

"Who would live in a world where everyone looked the same and dressed the same? How boring life would be if that were so."

Heated

I barely made it through my first lesson and I couldn't take in anything sir was saying that whole hour.

Not only that but it was extremely hot. I don't know what could of made my day worse.

Kye on the other hand looked really uneasy. Whatever happened back there was already behind me but it seemed that for him it dragged on.

"Miss Marshall" Mr Hent boomed at the front of the classroom "I really hope you aren't dozing off in my classroom"

"Hm? Uh I mean no"

"Really? Ok then what was the answer to this equation?" She said with a raised eyebrow.

I gave a quick glance at the board trying to do the calculations in my head but all my thoughts were all over the place and it wasn't making any sense. "Um...apple?" I asked completely unaware of what she was talking about.

She looked angry, more than ready to hand me a detention slip right out the bat but then a husky voice could be heard from the back.

"72"

"What was that Kye?" She asked astounded.

"72. That's the answer"

"Ah so you do listen in my lessons however I was asking another. I'll let it slide as you were correct but you must pay more attention Regan"

As a response to hearing my name I nodded my head tiredly while my eyes felt droozy.

"Back to normal class" She said giving me one more look and turning back to face the board.

Although my body felt like it was about to die (weirdly it wasn't from the fatigue), my mind and self conscious was wide awake.

Why did he help me? I thought a dick like him didn't care about anybody. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into this.

At the end of class I felt like I was burning. Was it only me or did the temperature rise by like 30 degrees?

"You look really red and puffy... are you ok?" Mark said after spotting me down the corridor.

"Yes. Do you like apples? I like apples"

"What are you on about?" He chuckled in slight worry.

To be honest I didn't even know what I was saying. My sentences were jumbled and my names matched those names of book characters.

"Hello kind person...guy" I stuttered on the spot "it is i your saviour...take me by the hand and I'll lead you to your castle" it was at this point that most people in the corridor was staring at me in confusion.

"What are you talking about Regan?" Mark asked again, this time more serious.

"Whoopsie I didn't know the walls could spin" I said while loosing my balance a bit. I could see Mark spring to action catching me as I fell. "You have such pretty eyes sir Harrington I didn't know you had blue eyes"
